  • Hope today goes well. Great that the shed has been sorted. I can see your reluctance with a gardener but hopefully you could get a new one that’s  amazing.

    Good luck for today xx
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Thanks XX 

    We are leaving in 20 minutes. I am trying to hide my panic because I took a prescription with me to the high street but by the time I got there the chemist was shut and I do not remember what I did with it.... 

    Just going to check something. 

    Amazing how typing that made me remember that I put it in my make up bag! I will ask at the hospital if they can fill it. 

    I had such a nice day yesterday. Today is so different. Mum is so miserable about going out, she doesn't seem to realise she is lucky to have treatment. Or is that a bit holier than thou of me? I can't decide.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    After initial rain it’s definitely hotter here today than yesterday.
    I hope it goes well at the hospital for your mum.
    Well done on getting a bit more done. You need to pencil outings with friends in on a regular basis. It certainly lifts you 👍

  • Back from the hospital, yet again the doctors were amazing and are really trying hard to control her pain. Mum is very tired and in a lot of pain. She is super hard work in that state - which I get and I try to be understanding but I am such a stress head when she is like this. I can't drive too fast, I must remember the speed limit, avoid pigeons and cats and constantly be careful. She was then bordering on rude to the hospital people. 

    So tired. 

    Will write more later, need a little nap first ;) 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Today was the funeral, they always make you think. 

    It was a good service if you see what I mean. 

    Then I came home to Mum who hadn't eaten, not did she want anything to eat. She was quite sad. I am not sure how long I can take this. Every time I go out she won't eat. or rather doesn't eat. 

    Again am tired but I guess it is 10.50 and it has been a heck of a day. XX 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I’m pleased the funeral went as good as a funeral can go.
    Theres no easy answer about your mum. Would she take some sort of tonic or vitamin supplement…..I’m guessing if she would you’d have already tried.

    As your mum’s illness is unfortunately continuing longer than hoped, is it time to ask for help with caring? I know she doesn’t want that but you may need to make the decision for her.

    She really won't do anything to help herself and her anxiety is getting much much worse :(

    We are on a 15 week waiting list for Social services to assess her. It might be 12 weeks now.... 

    This term is always the worst. So much to do. Nearly friday right? XXX
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Nearly Friday! We can make it xxx
